First Posting

Todd and I were speaking on our last annual trip to vegas and found out that we're both training for races this year. Todd for an ironman triathlon and I'm training for Mountain Bike race series.

Todd has kickstarted us by qualifying for the Boston marathon!! (Post some photos man). From this I got inspired and created the blog where we can discuss training, recovery, injury, upcoming races etc.

Todd's suggestion to name it "Bread Thighs" or "The Gingerbread Man" is based on a song we sing from time to time (we like singing).

The name is more than perfect......it's inspiring! I'll post some photos (once I figure out how to) of the Marathon.

Man.. I might get a jersey for my mountain bike race that has some bread thighs. Can you imagine a serious race with some ginerbread jersey?

I think we should have full suits made - jerseys and shorts for sure. Be a great way to get the word out about the gingerbreadthighs blog site. Plus it would really help to know in the final miles of the race that "run run fast as you can....can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man....got powerful bread thighs"

Hahaha.. Beauty! People woudl be so intimidated when they saw your jersey and suit..

I can picture it now..

"Oh crap man... this guys got bread thighs! I didnt think there were aloud in this race!"

The United States Triathlon committee is still out on the legality of bread thighs. The word on the street is whenever somebody shows up with bread thighs they destroy the field. Professional triathletes everywhere are pleading the committee to outlaw bread thighs, but as the saying goes....."run run fast as you can....can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man....got powerful bread thighs" Bring it suckas!!
